Elizabeth Tulley is the new Instruction, Outreach, and Assessment Librarian. She promotes the library, provides library instruction, and helps with assessments of library services and collections. She also assists students with research questions.
How can you assist students?
I’m happy to work with students during every stage of the research process, from narrowing down ideas to evaluating and finding resources to use!
How long have you worked at Loras?
I started at Loras right before the school year started, so I've been here for just a few weeks. I’ve loved getting to learn more about Loras’ history and campus over the past few weeks, and can’t wait to meet all of the students, faculty, and staff that call Loras home.
Why did you choose libraries as a career/vocation?
I’ve always loved reading and working with my community, and so in high school I started working at my local public library as a library page. My experience there showed me that I did truly enjoy working in libraries, and I’ve worked in libraries ever since. At the University of Northern Iowa, where I went for undergrad, I worked at the academic library and discovered that academic librarianship was the part of librarianship that I was most excited about. I love how libraries are community centers, and that by working in a library, I get to help people find the resources they need! I especially love helping people with research, which is part of what drew me to academic libraries.
What is a book you would recommend?
It’s always so hard to choose, but right now I would say Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery (call number: PreK12 Collection Chapter M767). It's the third book in the Anne of Green Gables series, and is my personal favorite, especially as the school year begins!
